Yo Great Video I got the same bike recently and Ive been loving it ever since, i came from a Trek Slash 9.8. I feel like the Orbea jumps better, and is more agile And that the Trek is a litle more forgiving. But overall i like the Orbea more. Btw pro tip youtuber to youtuber, have good music or no music at all. Im guessing you also think the backrouns music ia kins of annoying 😅 Cheers
I have Rallon 2023 with RS super deluxe coil which made it much better at the back and a bit more forgiving. It is a fun bike, but it is hard to control it at super steep chatter or maybe I'm just a bad rider on those sections. I'm wandering if installing 230x62 shock effectively make it 2024 model? According to Rallon blue paper manual the 2022-2023 frames are compatible with that shock size. In my mind 230x62 shock would relax coil preload a bit to achieve the desired sag and as the result would soft the rear for tiny bit.
My buddy has the DB kistuma air on this exact rallon and I have the dvo topaz (3) in 185x55 on my giant trance X29 (160 dvo fork & currently mullet) feels as capable as the rallon, we switch bike often I can confirm rear travel numbers from manufacturer are not the most reliable thing to shop a bike with 😅 gotta try them 😊
Kinda depends how I want to ride. There are days I want to set land speed records and I take my rocky altitude. If I’m just messin about and want to have fun popping around I take my RAAW Jibb. Just kind of depends on the mood.

Love the reviews, any chance of review a Canfield tilt in the future?

Good vid. What’s your favorite bike for places like Floyd & Maryland?
Kinda depends how I want to ride. There are days I want to set land speed records and I take my rocky altitude. If I’m just messin about and want to have fun popping around I take my RAAW Jibb. Just kind of depends on the mood.
Do you know where I can demo this bike on the Front Range?
Have you weighted it ? Thanks

How does the Rallon climb vs Commencal V5 and V5 SX?
@@gregsurat3734 I’d say Rallon, then V5 not terribly far behind and the V5 SX a ways back.
